Tell us what you are trying to do? Convert fields set in Centimeters to Inches

Is there any documentation that you are following? No

I'm trying to find a place to start, and can't seem to find one.
Basically what i want is that based on the WPML language set, to convert the field value to inches.

I know i don't need an online API for it because the converting value is always the same (not as currency, which is always changing).
1 Centimeter = 0.3937007874 Inch.

Do you happen to have something like this implemented previously? I've searched the forum and found nothing.

Thanks

Hello,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset plugins, but it is possible with little custom codes, for example you can create another shortcode to do the calculation, see similar thread here:
